Here are more questions that we had sent Monson (Which we just got back the answers)

Q: Are you in a ward or branch?
A: Bariloche was a branch and Comodoro is a ward.

Q: What is the hardest part of missionary work/life?
A: Rejection! Ignorance and loving dumb people! Haha, since you asked….
But all summed up, the hardest thing is learning to work on God’s time.

Q: What do you wished you would have done differently before you left for your mission?
A: Went to seminary more and paid better attention. Shared the gospel with more of my friends. Read the scriptures more and paid better attention to what I was reading, personally & with the family. But IDK was I capable of doing all that? Oh well!

Q: Are there a lot of sidewalks?
A: Here in Comodoro – yes. In Bariloche only the downtown area.

Q: Are the roads paved?
A: Downtown almost all the roads are paved but the further out you go only the main ones are paved.

Q: What are the roads like that go from city to city?
A: Paved, long and empty.

Q: Do they drive crazy down there too?
A: In Buenos Aires, heck yes they did! Here, not so bad but there aren’t any restrictions on driving or at least the police don’t pull you over.

Q: Do a lot of people own animals?
A: Yes, everybody has at least one dog. Cats are pretty common too. Here in Comodoro I have seen other types of pets too; birds, fish, hamster, etc.
There is an occasional horse. I have not seen a cow yet but I have seen sheep.

Q: Do you feel like you understand the language now?
A: Ya, but there are still many times when I don’t understand words.

Q: How long did it take you till you felt comfortable speaking their language?
A: I still don’t feel comfortable! I can communicate just fine, since about 3 months in the mission; but everyone still knows I’m a gringo when I talk.

Q: Have you eaten any new foods? If so what are they:
A: Empanadas – my favorite!
Milanese – Beef or chicken with bread crumb covering, very common.
Alfajores – Circular candy. I sent lots to Rustin. Very common.
Sheep Ribs – Those were good!
Nothing too weird really - just different, I like it 
